| Email Encryption Systems for Canadian Data Residency Requirements |

The History
Email encryption, worrying about where data was stored, was not a concern when every company kept paper files in locked cabinets. Canada has been regulating the management of personal information privacy for almost 35 years, ever since the Government of Canada enacted the Privacy Act in 1983. This Act applied to departments within the Government of Canada as well as each provincial government system. Twenty years later, in order to address the privacy issues that accompanied the development of online commerce, the 1983 requirements were broadened to include private sector organizations that electronically maintain personal information. These new parameters were established in 2004 under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

More than half of small and midsize businesses in the U.S. have suffered a cyber attack in the past yearbut despite this frightening reality, very few businesses are making IT security a priority this year. That's a big mistake, because small business owners are at a greater risk than they may think for data security problems and cybercrime.
